Answer 1

Answer: 15% , you divide the Numerator by the Denominator and you will get a decimal of . 15 then you multiply that by 100 and you will get your percentage which in this case is 15%

Answer 2

To write a fraction as a percent, first remember that a percent is a ratio of a number to 100. If we want to convert
`(3)/(20)` to a percent, we need to find a fraction equivalent to
`(3)/(20)` that has a 100 in the denominator. We can do this by setting up a proportion.

`(3)/(20)` =
`(n)/(100)`

Now, we can use cross products to find the missing value.

3 × 100 = 300

20 × n = 20n

300 = 20n ← Divide both sides by 20.

15 = n

Therefore,
`(3)/(20)` as a percent would be 15%.
